I'm still working on organizing my thoughts for some of my reviews from my trip, but I wanted to bring up a couple of safety tips that I felt I should mention because they are very important.
Don't jaywalk across the Strip - or anywhere else! I previously mentioned the fact that jaywalking is very dangerous in Las Vegas - it's dangerous anywhere, obviously - but apparently people feel the need to cross the streets as soon as possible and risk life and limb by doing this. If you see other people already in the crosswalk and the signal is saying not to walk, don't do it! In a city filled with so many tourists from around the world, the chances of you getting hit by a car, a bus, or a taxi is very high. Just wait a couple of minutes until the light is in your favor, because there's nothing worth getting killed for in Vegas.
Don't try to hail a cab on the Strip. This is not New York City, or any other big city that allows cab pickups on every street. Cabs can be hailed at every casino, bar, restaurant, residence or hotel all over the city, but it is illegal for cabbies to stop and pick up passengers on the Strip. They're not ignoring you, they're obeying the law. Go to a safe place to hail a cab, and don't be mad when they don't stop for you.
Please don't make yourself a moving target!
